Today, around the world, we celebrate yoga. Not just asana, not just movement, but the deeper practice of presence, compassion, stillness, and connection.
Xinalani's All Inclusive Packages
At Xinalani, yoga isn’t something we offer. It’s something we live, breathe, and share every single day.
Beautiful Eco Chic Rooms and Beach Casitas
A community we’re honored to host
Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of welcoming so many incredible teachers from across the globe. Talented, generous, heart-led guides who bring their students to this small corner of the jungle for something more than a vacation.
They come for space. For nature. For transformation.
We’ve witnessed friendships grow, intentions deepen, and healing unfold. We’ve seen teachers return again and again, building sacred traditions and creating lifelong memories. These aren’t just retreats. They’re reunions of the spirit.
To every teacher who has trusted Xinalani as the container for their work: thank you. You’ve shaped this space as much as the waves and trees have.
A jungle that participates
Practicing yoga here means sharing space: not just with other people, but with nature herself.
There are no mirrors here, no walls to block the breeze (except for our hot yoga studio!). The shalas are open, framed by trees, with the ocean or the mountains as your backdrop. And yes, the jungle sings. Birds, insects, the ocean’s rhythm below. It's not quiet in the traditional sense, but it's real. And it reminds you: you’re part of something bigger.
You can integrate it in your practice, in your breath, in your inner being. To plant it into yourself and bring it with you to sow peace in moments of noise in daily life.
A practice that keeps evolving
Some guests come for deep rest. Others come to move and sweat. Some come with full groups, others solo. All are welcome.
Whether you're joining our daily morning class, exploring aerial yoga, or simply meditating on your terrace, yoga here adapts to you. Just as the jungle shifts with the season, so does your practice shift with your needs.
We’re not here to define yoga. We’re here to support it, witness it, and hold space for however it shows up.
Today we pause and give thanks
To the practice that brought us all together.
To the teachers who light the way.
To the students who arrive with open hearts.
To the community we’ve built: rooted in trust, growth, and joy.
Happy International Day of Yoga.
From all of us at Xinalani — with love, always.
